There were in fact two gigs as the School Bullies in the Bridgehouse in 1979: the Monday 12th March gig in the photos I upped above (look behind the Captain's head for confirmation of the Monday) and again on Friday 7th September with the Cockney Rejects as support (which explains the Sieg Heiling). I was at the second gig, not the first, as I realized today when I found two photos on the web that I remember buying from a gig photographer by post after the gig. Here they are:<br /><br />http://13thflootvendetta.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/damned-fuck-off-die-live-at-whiskey-go.html<br /><br />http://www.tankfilthhounds.net/algysinterview.htm<br /><br />I'll see if I can dig out the originals ... I also remember the Captain's guitar strap read "Sod The Whale". <br /><br />Cheers, Dave Sez.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333056491858240180.post-88623554069270023722013-02-02T12:39:57.406+00:002013-02-02T12:39:57.406+00:00In thanks for so much good music, I've gone di...In thanks for so much good music, I've gone digging in the attic to give you a taste of the times. I was at the secret gig played by the Damned under the name The School Bullies on 12th March 1979 at the Bridgehouse, Canning Town, one of my earliest gigs (if it wasn't the Undertones at the Marquee). The atmosphere was intimidating - the gig started with twenty minutes of Sieg Heiling from what seemed to be everyone in the audience except me and my mate - but the tension was relieved by being mates with the Captain: I remember getting chased around his garden with him manically waving a whining model airplane engine nailed on a board that he used to cut chunks out of his mum's plants when we were too quick. The gig was great. Below are three gig photos and two MGE promo pics - wish I'd now coughed up for a fourth gig pic of Algy though. Good times, and here ya go, cheers Dave Sez.<br /><br />http://www.mediafire.com/?ed1j7hetr6g6w8aAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
